Yas Gaming Festival is set to return to Yas Mall from July 30 to August 10, 2025, offering a variety of gaming experiences for all age groups. Organised by Miral, in collaboration with Aldar, the event will be held at Town Square, Yas Mall, and is free to attend.
This year’s edition includes a large gaming arena inspired by the Nintendo Switch, featuring over 40 stations equipped with popular titles such as FIFA, Tekken, and Fortnite on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles. Visitors can join casual sessions or friendly competitions, with daily prizes on offer.
Cosplay competitions are scheduled for August 2 and 9, where participants can dress as their favourite characters for a chance to win prizes.
The festival also features the Darna Gaming Zone, supported by Aldar’s lifestyle loyalty programme, Darna. Attendees can sign up for Darna via the app or on-site, link their UAE-issued Visa or MasterCard, and earn Darna Points on every purchase at Yas Mall. Points can be redeemed at a variety of Aldar destinations including dining, retail, entertainment, and hotels. The programme includes Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers.
